The Cemetery Children

Broken Puppet Books, 2018

Tale 1 in the Jabodetabek series. "The sky lights up from the fire. It's an unreal moment – only a minute ago gloom and dust made it impossible to see much of anything. It's not like the polaroid bursts of illumination from gunfire, punching holes in the darkness. This is a prolonged exposure, an aching revelation of the destruction all around us. I want the gloom and impenetrable dust back." Jabodetabek, as Jakarta is known in the future, has been besieged by separatists hell-bent on bringing the Old City to its knees. They've disrupted utilities by destroying the massive generators on the PLN Areo hydro-pipes, plunging the residents of Pusat-Selatan II into darkness. For Field Engineer Callan, there are more pressing concerns closer to camp: platoon leader Westerling seems to have lost his mind, taking the men under his command down with him, and Stellum Corps in the heavens above are struggling to keep back the advancing threat of alien attack. Only Ardiyanti and her pack of wild Cemetery Children seem to have kept their cool in the midst of the horrors and madness of civil war, but for how long can Jabodetabek's innocents fend off the threats that beset them from all sides?
